It’s based on a gansey that our dad had commissioned; my brother wanted one too so I copied what I saw, modding for his size. I’ve learnt a lot from it, mainly that I never want to knit such a tight knit ever again. I’m so incredibly proud of it though, it just shows what perseverance can do
My little sister is newly engaged, so it only makes sense to learn lace knitting and make her veil. (Don’t worry, I won’t come back in a year with a resentment post if she hates it). Currently my lace experience is one very simple triangle shawl....
I appreciate the questions! This has been discussed with the bride, and her dress was picked out first so that motifs and color might be derived thereafter. The dress is ivory, has some leaf/flower motifs, and my sister is also a knitter. So we’re on the same page about what this means. She sent detail pics of the bodice so I could work in similar motifs.
And I’m truly, truly aware that this could be a “take a couple pictures, have a moment, put it away forever” type piece.
Made my brother this gansey, I'm so incredibly proud (lemmy.world)

What do you make when you’re stuck on ideas for what to make?
I’m currently experiencing this dilemma. I want to knit something but am not sure what to make.
